haino keiji in mexico

we were about to go haino keiji live on 28th March, it turned out he was still in mexico because of an exploding plane landing in destruction in tokyo.

I was curious about what he was doing in mexico and found this marvelous poster. & here is an example of what happened there
There is a purpleish background.

Perhaps the pink downward strand could be mistaken for purple, reminding us all of the perpetual question: what is a "purple trap"


Now we are about to go see haino keiji and merzbow in the duo called "kikuri" -- there is an album, I do not have, it is called "pulverized purple"











---- ↓ -- unformed thoughts here present -- ↓ ----

I have been meaning to delve into fushitsusha, the unique Haino Keiji fronted band active from around 1978 until roughly the turn of the century, for a long time. I am feeling ready to start now, despite not having all my cds with me. I think I have figured out where to start, and will proceed, using the music I have with me, and allow the gaps to be there, knowing I know enough now, to let them be for a while.

I am going to discuss the music as it is and not use terms like "black fire", "cosmic black hole", "maelstrom" &tc. I will use the "white/black magic" concept as it is a term Haino Keiji used in an interview and I think it makes sense. I will not pretend to not be ignorant.

tentative wary plan:
1/ openings -- this will involve koko from the Live 1 album (2nd cd, last track), and pathetique (all of it) -- from there I will probably get to
2/ segments/sections -- the albert ayler type thing of composed/practisced sections being introduced when they seem fit during live performance. it's a continuation from openings. it involves recurrences of material (not just "song" performances in the different contexts) -- for example "fuwa fuwa" first Live, first track second cd, appearing in solo performances (and not only that, but my suspicion that the track often called "vertigo" is some sort of reduction/extension of "fuwa fuwa". Albums referenced: Live 1, 2, A Caution Appears, some Haino solo things -- I intend to veer away often
3/-4/-5/ . . . something about "long form" . . . who knows what will happen
